Justin: Our First Goodbye

.
It is with deep sorrow that Michelle and I say "until we meet again" to our Seattle friend, Justin Key, after he passed away from a sudden pulmonary embolism, December 14, 2009.

This week has been hard for both of us, however, through tearful Skype sessions, swapping memories, pictures and videos, we've come to celebrate Justin's full and vibrant life, resolving to follow his example this next year. As one person put it, "We live with the hope and confidence that it is not final and also the realization that his was not just a promising life but a life that already lived according to the Promise."


To our fun-loving friend:
--You're with Jesus now!
--We wish we could have accepted your Mexico invitation last summer.
--Thank you for sharing your gorgeous city with us last March.
--You're still on our "List of Extraordinary Gentlemen."
--We already miss you, your laugh, hugs, brilliant mind and devastating smile.

Until we all meet again in eternity,

Michelle and Gail
